MQTT Broker allows to connect only once and then fail

[wariat]

When I try to re-cofigure mqtt broker i’m getting error like this:

Even that I have a user with homeassistant login. Password is also valid
Funny case is that if I go to the Settings => Add-ons => Mosquitto broker and hit RESTART the credentials above are working for couple of minutes and i can re-configure so I am able to connect…

Rather than attempt remote troubleshooting (although ISTR HASS disables the homeassistant user for MQTT deliberately), can I suggest a walk-though of all MQTT settings including credentials?:

Sonoff Tasmota fails to connect to MQTT

Hi, I’d start with a clean slate - re-flash the device (or Tasmota → Configuration → Reset Device), and delete the Mosquitto Add-on and reinstall. HASS Mosquitto broker Add-In, MQTT integration, Tasmota Integration Mosquitto broker Add-In The recommended way to configure uses is shown on the Add-On Documentation tab - e.g. create a HASS user. http://homeassistant.local:8123/hassio/addon/core_mosquitto/documentation I personally use additional Mosquitto users, BUT these are configured not b…

The only way you know for certain if the MQTT broker works is with an external tool like https://mqtt-explorer.com/ . IPv6 / hostname / mDNS names have been known to break MQTT broker access.

Oh, and code fences work a lot better than screen-dumps in forums as they are searchable, and get automatic code colouring which helps spot syntax errors.

I am unable to use mqtt-explorer as I am a mac user. It is not supporting latest MacOS

As for my config - I have a standard config, nothing weird.
I have a standard config.

Even if I use one of my custom users am I still not able to log in

I am thinking about removing that add-on and reinstal it again but then I will have to re-connect all of devices?

@wariat

Even that I have a user with homeassistant login.

You can’t use that username. From the docs

This add-on is attached to the Home Assistant user system, so MQTT clients can make use of these credentials. Local users may also still be set independently within the configuration options for the add-on. For the internal Home Assistant ecosystem, we register homeassistant and addons , so these may not be used as user names

.

[wariat]

I have also mqtt user which is also not working until I restart the addon.
Then it is fine for 5-30 minutes and then it fails again9

[nickrout]

Where is mqtt user defined?
